I've been meaning to revisit New 'n' Tasty now that I'm able to approach it with more realistic expectations.

I tried it for the first time in 2020 having finished a replay of Oddysee (one of my...

Not posted on here that much over the years and so I assume no one even remotely recognises me, but just wanted to say it's been a pleasure checking these forums sporadically over the years!

Interesting, I wonder what caused 4000+ people to all log-in here at the same time as 'recently' as October 2015. Soulstorm had been confirmed to exist by Lorne by then, but that was before it even...

In the case of this one in particular it's probably just been due to the fact there's almost literally nothing to talk about in regards to Oddworld any more. I couldn't tell you why I'm here again...

Joined here in 2007, I think after getting stuck after managing to 'break' Abe's Oddysee where I somehow managed to bypass a Slig I wasn't supposed to and as such was trapped forever...

Never been...

New teaser trailer (finally with some gameplay) - releasing early 2020

I now shudder at the word 'crafting' in video games, but hopefully Oddworld Inhabitants haven't made it too annoying in Soulstorm.

Looks quite cool, but until we see some actual gameplay I'm still tempering expectations. It does worry me a tad that it's been just over 3 years to the day since it was first announced but we've...

The whole eerie atmosphere, gritty art direction and perfect balance of a dark overworld mixed with very, very subtle humour here and there is what made Oddworld my favourite game of all time.

Basically abandon what they tried with New 'n' Tasty and go back to the incredible atmosphere that made Oddysee and Exoddus so great.

Feel free to make it! It's definitely another topic worth discussing separately, I won't begrudge you for making it because I 'mentioned it first', promise.

I'm with Nepsotic on this one, for sure.

Exoddus is to Oddysee what Reloaded/Revolutions was to the original Matrix. Bigger doesn't necessarily equal better.

EDIT: Around 31:30 in that video...

I'm really glad that it looks as though the team have taken feedback on board and aren't simply doing another 'New 'n' Tasty' type straight remake of Exoddus.

I hope they're 'rectifying' the...

Cut out all the ridiculously unnecessary padding and vastly rework the hub system towards the end of the game and it could be considerably better than the original

Out of curiosity, what's the difference between the default and classic control systems in New 'n' Tasty? The reported lack of 'grid' system is what initially put me off (that was a big part of what...

Late here...is New 'n' Tasty worth it?

I never got round to playing New 'n' Tasty when it first came out as in my eyes Abe's Oddysee was so perfect I couldn't imagine how it could be bettered.

Now I've had time to let it settle and...

I'll probably get some stick for this (apart from maybe Nepsotic), but the only changes I really want are for them to totally re-do the last...quarter or so of the game? And stop it from being an...

Absolutely agreed.

For your second question:
- Keep the quicksave idea, obviously
- Keep the ability to retread the exact same steps (if you know what I mean?)
- Focus almost absolutely and...

Agree whole-heartedly with the steep learning curve, I first played Oddysee as like a...6 year old or something, but I didn't manage to complete it fully until 10 years later. I kinda think that...

Agreed. Unfortunately I don't think shoe-horning in some extra filler to try and make up for otherwise rushed development equals a good game.

I think there are some valid points in this thread...

Dare I say Abe's Exoddus...drags a little?

I've completed Oddysee...god knows how many times before, but I'm currently actually only on my first ever play through of Exoddus. For the most part I'm loving it of...

Unfortunately as I live in the UK it won't be airing until about 3am our time, so I doubt I'll be able to watch it until tomorrow, but I can. Not. Wait.
